Time to pick some football playoff winners

Kind of crazy to think that just 18 hours ago we were looking at 77 degree weather, with sunshine. But I guess football weather returned just in time for the playoffs, which begin tonight. Oakland County has 22 teams competing in 18 games.
I'll be picking my winners below. And if you'd like to get in on the action, you can. And I'm going to award MIPrepZone t-shirts to the Top-2 pickers - based on the correct number of winners picked. All you need to do is email your winners to me by 4 p.m. today - the start of our first game of the night. I'll provide more details below.

CONTEST: Pick the winners of the 18 games below and email them to me at jason.schmitt@oakpress.com by 4 p.m. today. Put FOOTBALL PICKS CONTEST in the subject line. Just pick the winner of each game and as a tiebreaker, pick the total number of points scored in the Oxford-Seaholm game. The two people with the most correct picks will win an MIPrepZone t-shirt. All ties go to the tiebreaker. Any incomplete submissions may be disqualified. Please include a contact phone number if you would. Good luck.
